#Tipsy scoop Patch#
After all, there was ICE CREAM in this tequila – how loopy could I possibly get? Also, if there’s a fourth thing in this world that makes me feel hot and bothered inside, it’s frozen desserts.Īfter experiencing the delightful buzz of Grapefruit Paloma Sorbet, I felt I was a tangy grapefruit falling off a tree into a soft patch of grass. (Yes, she deserves a capital T.) However, when my friend, Melissa, founder of Tipsy Scoop, told me about her tequila-based treats, I decided I needed to re-evaluate my long lost interest in the honey-colored nectar of the devils. Now that I’m a grown-up, I can’t say that I’ve been in touch with my ex-gal pal, Tequila. Other than enhancing my great multi-tasking skills, tequila was my mortal enemy. (Ladies, don’t fall for this – they ALL wear collared shirts at times!) Needless to say, back in my tequila drinking days, I was known for falling while walking on flat surfaces and pursing my lips into the air, waiting for someone to make out with them, all the while squinting like a cat and shoving chicken fingers into my mouth. Tequila is the alcohol equivalent of a girlfriend you meet sophomore year of college who tells you that being a hoe is cool and you should always say yes to boys who wear button down shirts ‘cause they’re classy. One is my boyfriend (he’s really cute), two is 95-degree weather, and three is (cliché drum roll for predictable answer) - tequila.
There are few things in the world that make me want to shed my clothing.
But alas, we all have jobs, friends, and things to do out in the real world even when the sun is beating on you like Chris Brown on Rihanna in 2008 and then again in 2010. Like, the kind of summer where I schvitz all over the subway seat and then I get up for some elderly lady and she looks at the seat and she’s like, “Ew, no thanks!” It’s a constant battle to leave my iglooesque (not a word) apartment and greet the summer sweat-fest. The family also plans to ship online orders of Winecream directly to consumers.It’s been a really hot summer. (The Winecream will be mixed and flash-frozen in the new production space and then kept in freezers in liquor stores.) Gorham says the goal is to have pints of Winecream stocked in liquor stores in the Baltimore and D.C. In the new facility, they’ll be able to ferment the wine, make the Winecream and package it for sale. The Gorhams are transferring their operations from Northern Baltimore County to a loft warehouse space in West Baltimore. “We always say a scoop of Winecream is the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine.”Ĭurrently, Winecream is only available at festivals and private events, but Crossroad Company - the name of the family’s business - is in the process of a big move. “It tastes like ice cream, and then as you’re finishing the bite and it’s going down, you get the little follow effect of a glass of wine,” Gorham said. “It’s Coldstone for adults.”Įxpect a sweet taste, and an even sweeter buzz. “It’s kind of a show … You get to pick your own order, you make it how you want it, you get to see it go down the line,” Gorham said. Fruit purees and candy toppings are thrown in and the mixture heads to a tank of liquid nitrogen for an arctic blast. In a bowl, the wine is combined with a cream and sugar base. Instead, they ferment sweeter fruits, such as strawberries, peaches and pineapples, into wine.Įach serving of Winecream is customized to order. Unlike typical reds and whites, the wine the Gorhams use in their Winecream is not grape-based. However, liquid nitrogen, which is about -300 degrees Fahrenheit, freezes both the wine and the cream, together, while retaining the wine’s alcohol content. Wine does not freeze in a typical freezer, even if it is mixed with cream and other ingredients, Gorham explained. The key to this confection is liquid nitrogen. Gorham, an engineer, and his sister Katie, a public health communications specialist at Johns Hopkins, spent about a year on research and development and came up with a recipe for a product that tastes like ice cream, but has the alcohol content of a glass of vino. That night, the Baltimore-area family filed for an LLC and Winecream was born. But wine ice cream? It was an idea they could all get behind. “We wanted ice cream, but we didn’t want to stop drinking wine,” he said. WASHINGTON - Three years ago on Christmas Day, Dan Gorham and his family were finishing up their holiday meal when they faced a dilemma that’s all too common for wine-lovers with a sweet tooth.
